The General’s Communiqué
Maj. Gen. Albert N. Stubblebine III
(US Army, Ret.)
Crisis After Crisis…
Remember the “Food Safety Agency” bills (H.R. 875 and S.425) pending in Congress… ” These bills will industrialize all farms and insure the farmers are forced to buy chemicals and drugs. Organic is dead. As well as human control over the food supply. As well as health.” – Linn Cohen-Cole.
Here is the Action Item so you can send an unmistakable message to your representatives in the Senate and the House. Please click your Mouse and take action NOW!

The Nano Silver Controversy
As you know, these “food safety” bills are not the only issue we’ve brought to your attention recently. You’re aware of the FDA’s banning of a certain natural form of Vitamin B-6 last month, in a way that puts all dietary ingredients at risk. You’re aware of the effort of some to have the EPA declare topical silver products “unapproved pesticides” and our efforts to send comments to the EPA before the March 20th deadline.
Recently some usually pro-freedom consumer groups have joined the pro-regulator band-wagon regarding EPA banning nano-silver products. Natural Solutions Foundation supports the availability of nano-silver products.
We think what is happening is that some well-meaning people are confusing silver ions with the types of untested GMO (genetically modified organisms) products and new technology nano-products to which we have always urged the application of the Precautionary Principle [that the company offering a truly new technology product is obligated to reasonably substantiate that it is safe for use as directed, and that new products should not be offered to the public without meeting this standard].
We do not think nano-silver products fit that criteria.
All silver products work the same way: they shed silver ions which have germicidal capacity. An ion is a single atom stripped of some of its electrons, leaving it electrically charged. A nano particle is made of many atoms. A nano particle of silver is simply a small chunk of the element, smaller even than the microscopic size silver particles found in the colloidal silver solutions that have been available for nearly two centuries.
Silver has been used safely for utensils for millennia, with traditionally noted germ-suppressing capacity. The uses being questioned by the EPA are substantially equivelent to this traditional use. Supplemental silver has been ingested safely (argyria is not a safety issue!) for nearly two centuries.
Silver products are quite distinct from the GMO or untested nano-particle products to which the Precautionary Principle should apply. Therefore, we urge you to send an appropriate message to the EPA:

“Mouse Warrior” Action Items
Congress, the President and other decision makers must get your message loud and clear! Now that Health Freedom made it among the Top Ten social issues on Change.org and Change.gov, we are ready to push even harder. That’s where these Health Freedom Action eAlerts make a difference. Please take these actions:
1. Tell Congress “No” on the farm control bills! HR 875 and S.425
We’ve set up an Action Item for you to send an unmistakable message to your representatives in the Senate and the House. We must educate Congress that you do not want organic and small farmers regulated out of existence.
You do not want “Big Agra” regulations, perhaps necessary to protect the public when dealing with large scale agra business, applied to organic and small family farms and ranches or to natural and organic food products including Dietary Supplements.
http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26714
2. Tell the President about Change: Health Freedom is Our First Freedom
You made “Health Freedom Is Our First Freedom” one of the top 10 items on America’s mind with your votes to Change.org. Now we have to make that message resonate throught the White House halls.
Will the new President listen? Only if we tell him, in our hundreds of thousands! We need your help in making this campaign “go viral” to “infect” the Internet with health freedom! Please forward to your entire list and ask them to ACT NOW!
Click here to tell President Obama that we want real change — which means more freedom and choice in our lives, not more control over needed medical treatments by yet another overblown, impossible to approach Federal bureaucracy!

3. Right to Use ~ Right to Choose Use Nano Silver
Thanks to Mouse Warriors, the Deadline for Comments has been extended to March 20, 2009 by the EPA. We won that skirmish, but the war is still raging.
Retain the Right to Choose Nano Silver. Tell EPA Not to topical Ban Nano Silver of Any Type. Whether you use Nano Silver or not (and we certainly do!), let’s make sure that we have the right to make that choice!

4. Divest FDA/USDA of Food Regulation Authority
– and all government agencies of their often misused power to deny us access to wholesome nutrition and natural remedies. Protect Food from FDA/USDA Regulation!
Congress is about to create a new agency for “Food Safety”. Our analysis is that it will be worse than both FDA and USDA combined. We need to get food out of Federal hands, and quickly. Just think what the new farm bills, coupled with a new industry-controlled, agency will do to your food, your health and your freedom. Having contemplated that horrific outcome, take action and ask everyone you know to do the same.

What do I recommend today?
1. Click here to send this open letter to President Obama and your Congressmen and Women:
The President:
http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26671
Congress:
http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26714
2. Click here to support the Natural Solutions Foundation, you health freedom champions. Wait a bit and there may be nothing left to defend. Remember, the “Stimulus Plan” makes any medical care which is not approved by the new Super Bureaucracy in Health And Human Services a forbidden treatment or option.
http://drrimatruthreports.com/?page_id=189
3. Click here to send a strong message to Congress that the so-called “Health Care Reforms” in the Stimulus Bill are unconstitutional and violate your rights. Therefore, they MUST be repealed in favor of legislation which memorializes you right to control your body and your health choices. Anything less is catastrophic and will mean that your options can only be exercised off shore in the near future.
http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=26714
Are you prepared to surrender your right to natural health to Codex, to President Obama and to the Pharmaceutical corporations? If you are, please, please do nothing.
Oh, by they way, your reproductive rights are next. Here is what is happening in the Netherlands. If Holland goes, can the US be far behind?
Bert and I presented at the AZK anti censorship coalition conference in Chur, Switzerland. Approximately 2000 filled the City Hall of Chur where leading truth and freedom movement activists and whistleblowers spoke to a rapt crowd. Corruption in the Economic and Pharmaceutical worlds were detailed by insiders. General Bert and I offered a detailed and comprehensive look at Codex and its Genocidal agenda, past and future.
Look for the video of our presentation… it will be posted soon!
We’re also discussing the creation of an EU Natural Solutions Foundation, with a leading European Constitutional Attorney and Law Professor — how to create the petition to reopen EU policy on natural supplements, food, herbs, medicine and Codex.
One million signatures needed in EU, 50K signatures needed in Switzerland , and we have allies from all of the continent who will work with us to bring this petition forward. The EU has strong recall provisions which we lack in the US but it would be very helpful to our side to detach the EC from the “rear” of the US in its slavish support of the policies of the Bigs (Big Pharma, Big Agra, Big Chema, Big Finance and Big Govt) which the US brings forward on every Codex issue.
Only on GMOs does the EU differ from the US, and that rift has been meaningful up to now. We want more rifts, bigger rifts, better rifts!
Perhaps we want the EU out of Codex. We shall see what the Constitutional Law Professor has to say when he advises us.And we will, of course, advise you!
Do we want a European presence for the Natural Solutions Foundation, just as we have an African and a Panamanian? Of course we do! And that, too, will be part of the discussion. We are building for Global Health Freedom at the same time that the other side is destroying for global health fascism.
Which side are YOU on? Where is your support? Of course it is with freedom. Now, check at least one of the boxes below to know what you want to do to build the momentum and power of the health freedom movement over the next 7 days:

Please be aware of what all these people have accomplished already. Like stopping the ’06 anti-CAM FDA guidance; like keeping the DSHEA protective language in the ’07 FDA bill… Never lose heart!
It is up to us to make sure that the forces which are rapidly trying to destroy our food, our fertility and our freedoms do not succeed. We are, after all, free men and women who own our own bodies and we must vigorously protect that ownership.
So the time has come. Paul Revere is swinging his lantern. You are on the winning side, but you must act, and act and act. Now.

Silver Nanoparticles: No Threat to the Environment
George J. Maass, Ph.D. (Colloidal Science Laboratories)
Abstract:
Silver is an effective germ fighter and silver nanoparticles are widely recognized
as being especially effective because of their enormously high surface area. Due to the
large number of manufacturers using silver nanoparticles in their products, some concern
has arisen about the effects on the environment when these products are disposed of or
washed. This report will demonstrate that silver nanoparticles do not remain “nanosizeâ€
when they come in contact with normal environmental samples, such as soil and water,
but they agglomerate to form much larger, much less biologically effective, silver
particles which are non-toxic, non-ionic and have no history of being harmful to the
environment or aquatic life. Furthermore, there is no possibility that silver nanoparticles
can ever form silver ions, except in the presence of strong oxidizing substances.
Introduction:
Recently, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a statement that
they were planning to regulate companies that produce nanoparticles for use as anti-
microbials. This gives rise to the question: why are the dietary supplement and
nanoparticle industries being targeted at this time and what is the rational for new
regulation of an industry which has previously had no reported harmful effects to
humanity or the environment?
The EPA knows that silver nanoparticles are effective as antimicrobials. The
reason given by the EPA for the current interest is that silver nanoparticles, or products
that claim to be silver nanoparticles, are now being produced by a number of
manufacturers, and the EPA is concerned that, when these particles are disposed of, there
might be an appreciable amount of silver nanoparticles suddenly appearing in the
environment. The proposed concern is due to the fact that the silver nanoparticles are so
small that their surface area per unit weight is very large, therefore, for a given weight of
product, the biological effectiveness, which is proportional to surface area, is far beyond
that which would be expected. This much is true and it is part of the reason that silver
nanoparticles are so attractive in biological applications. The EPA is not questioning the
fact that silver nanoparticles are effective in killing harmful bacteria, but that, because of
the high surface area/weight effectiveness parameter, by disposing these particles into
sewers or waterways, might there be harmful effects to the environment by eliminating
the bacteria which are useful in normal waste degradation?
The last statement shows a misunderstanding of what silver nanoparticles are and
what they do. Nanoparticle technology is relatively new to the scientific community for
good reasons: Nanoparticles are difficult to produce; they are difficult to stabilize once
they have been produced; they are not stable enough to exist in nature for very long. The
purpose of this work is to prove that normal interaction of nanoparticles with various
© 2008 Colloidal Science Lab., Inc.
soils and different water sources is sufficient to change the size and dramatically decrease
the biological activity. Specifically, the areas of examination will include experiments
which will establish that silver colloids, which start out as nanoparticles, upon contact
with the environment “grow†to much larger clusters, as indicated by their average
particle size distribution, (a nanoparticle size measurement), and zeta potential
measurements, which will establish that the zeta potential is outside of the range required
for nanoparticle stability.
There are several other areas which, as recent articles have indicated, show
misunderstandings about silver and its nanoparticles. At Arizona State University,
Westerhoff and Benn (1) have reported “findings†which have never been observed
during the last 10 years at Colloidal Science Laboratories (CSL). For example, they claim
that nanosilver particles produce ionic silver when exposed to moisture. This is NOT
true! This is tantamount to saying that silver metal is water soluble. At CSL, various
forms of silver, ranging from solid silver metal to fine silver powder to colloidal
nanoparticles, have been exposed to water for long periods of time with agitation. No
increase in conductivity or silver ion concentration has ever been observed when silver
metal in any form is treated with water. Silver metal requires chemical treatment with
nitric acid or Aqua Regia to make silver ions. Westerhoff and Benn were working with
commercially prepared socks which are prepared by treating the socks with solutions of
silver in questionable form. There may have been some actual colloidal silver in the
treatment solutions, but there most certainly were soluble silver compounds present, and,
once the socks are rinsed, these are the substances which put silver ions back into the
wash water.
Some people also claim that only silver ions have antimicrobial properties. This
is another misconception. Colloidal silver is a wonderful antimicrobial by itself, which is
a good thing, because silver ions are very reactive with chloride ion to form insoluble,
and biologically inert, silver chloride. This happens in the bloodstream and in nature
wherever halogen anions are present.
As this report will show, the high biological effectiveness of colloidal silver does
not persist in nature because the nanoparticles agglomerate as soon as they come in
contact with the environment, specifically soil and water. Westerhoff and Benn admit that
silver particles “clump†together in the fabric and in the wash water. That is precisely the
point to be considered for environmental safety. How much “clumping†does it take so
that the particles are no longer considered to be “nanoâ€, but much larger, therefore
eliminating the continuing effect of high biological activity? These researchers, and
others, are very quick to make the jump from colloidal nanoparticles, in socks for
example, to ionic silver and its toxic effect, especially in zebra fish, and they speak as if
the ions came from the colloidal nanoparticles. It is necessary to be very clear about this.
If the researchers are finding silver ions in the wash water or anywhere else, then the
silver ions were present in the original material. This cannot be stated too strongly.
Unless people have taken to washing their socks in nitric acid, the conversion of
colloidal silver nanoparticles to silver ions is not possible.
© 2008 Colloidal Science Lab., Inc.
On the other hand, it is not surprising that certain research institutions are being
encouraged, and perhaps even funded, to conduct research that implies toxicity for
colloidal silver. According to well known internet health forum host, Tony Isaacs, the
reason for this is that “The only thing colloidal silver is toxic for is the profits of big drug
companies.†Mr. Isaacs also states “Silver has been used effectively by mankind to fight
germs and ailments for thousand of years.†“It (colloidal silver) is far safer, more
effective and less expensive than the marginally effective and side effect laden
mainstream antibiotics.†(2)
The work at hand will examine four different environmental conditions which
change the morphology and stability of silver colloids:
1. The effect of drainage of silver colloids through several soil samples.
2. The effect of interaction of silver colloids with different water
samples.
3. The effect of exposure of silver colloids to sunlight.
4. The change in level of silver colloids with regard to biological activity.
Experimental:
Sample Selection
At the outset, the first two questions to be addressed were what environmental
samples should be used and to what concentration of colloidal silver should these
samples be exposed. Since this is a first attempt at this kind of information, it was
decided to limit the environmental samples to the following:
1. Sand, taken from the New Jersey shore
2. Dirt, taken from central New Jersey,
3. Dirt, taken from Northern Pennsylvania
4. Water, local tap water from Westampton, NJ
5. Water, sea water, taken from the New Jersey shore
6. Water, taken from a northern Pennsylvania well
The soil samples represent some of the most common types found on the Eastern
Coast of the United States. The sand is essentially an Entisol, which is a type of soil that
is not subject to a great deal of chemical change and is common to areas where deposition
and removal occur at regular intervals. The New Jersey soil is primarily an Ultisol,
which contains clay, quartz, kaolinite and various iron oxides. The Pennsylvania soil is
most likely a mixture of Alfisols and Inceptisols which are clays that are productive for
growing most crops and are common to many areas. (3)
The water samples are Sea water, rich in many salts, NJ tap water, which has been
through routine purification, and Pennsylvania well water, which most likely contains
carbonates and nitrates. Therefore, the selection of samples should be sufficient to
establish the effect of the environment on nanoparticles for this initial study.
© 2008 Colloidal Science Lab., Inc.
Approximately 8 to 10 lbs of each environmental sample were collected. From
these, 18 to 20 samples of 20.0 g each were selected, and these were randomized for the
testing.
Next, in looking at the quantitative amount of colloidal silver to be used, it was
decided that the initial test case should provide information with regard to an
overabundance of nanoparticles being released to the environment, rather than just a trace
amount. If the environment is not substantially altered by the overabundance, surely it
will not be influenced by smaller amounts.
Preliminary work indicated that, at concentrations of up to 6 ppm, and probably
higher, based on the weight of soil samples, no nanoparticles would survive. Therefore, a
more reasonable amount, but still an enormously high concentration for a natural
occurrence, was selected.
Colloidal silver samples at our disposal were of the dietary supplement type and
average at least 20 ppm of silver. Most soil samples require 0.5 to 0.75 their weight in
water to start draining. It was decided that the colloidal silver would be diluted 10 to 1
and then applied to each soil sample. This would make each sample contain a minimum
of 2 ppm of silver nanoparticles, based on the weight of the soil. This would correspond
roughly to dumping 27 liters of 20 ppm colloidal silver onto one ton of dirt. Since most
colloidal silver customers are concerned with teaspoon and tablespoon quantities, it
should be safe to say that this experiment covers something well above the worst case
scenario.
Measurements:
In each experimental case, the selected sample of colloidal silver was mixed with
the environmental sample and the change in particle size and zeta potential recorded after
a specified time. The instrument used for this work was the Malvern Zetasizer, Model
Nano ZS. Since the samples which were in contact with soil contained very large
macroparticles and rocks, the samples all required vacuum filtration through grade 601
Ahlstrom filter paper to eliminate the particles which are 3 to 4 orders of magnitude
greater than the ones of interest in this study. This filtration has no effect on
nanoparticles.
For the trials in which the environmental samples were water, the colloidal silver
was diluted 10 to 1 in the water in question.
Results:
The initial data in this section shows the properties of the colloidal silver used in
these trials. This sample, selected at random, had 81% of its particles at 1.74 nm, and a
Zeta potential of -31.7 mV. The data in Tables 1 through 6 show the results of the
particles found in the fluid after the specified time of contact with the environmental
© 2008 Colloidal Science Lab., Inc.
samples in question. For example, it is shown in Table 1 that when DI water was filtered
through the soil samples, no nanoparticles could be found, but only large particles on the
order of 300 nm or more.
Table 2 shows that, after only 15 minutes of contact with the soil samples, a
decrease in zeta potential, and the smallest particles have increased to the 3 to 8 nm
range, and they still represent 80 to 90% of the total.
Table 3 indicates that, after a full 7 days of contact with the soil, but kept away
from sunlight, the nanoparticles have increased 3 to 8 times in size.
In Table 4, these results are more dramatic, since the samples were all exposed to
the sunlight for the 7 days, with the increases in size being 7 to 20 fold, and the smallest
particles now representing only 30 to 40 % of the total.
For the data in Table 5, the colloidal silver was left in contact with the
environmental water sample for 21 days in sunlight. As can be seen from the table, the
particle sizes have significantly increased (3 orders of magnitude), with a corresponding
drop in the zeta potential.
In Table 6, the samples were left in contact with the water samples instead of the
soil samples for 7 days in the sunlight. The results of these tests show that each water
sample also decreased the zeta potential and increased the particle size.

While some of the changes in particle size seem small, one must realize that they
represent large changes in loss of surface area and, since biological activity is
proportional to surface area, this would correspond to large losses in biological
effectiveness. In Figure 1, it can be seen that a change in particle size from 2 to 10 nm
represents about an 80% loss in surface area for the same weight of particles. This is an
approximation, since the exact morphology of the particles is not known. To make these
calculations possible, an assumption has to be made that the particles are spherical and
the spheres are close packed.

In a previous paper by F. Key and G. Maass (4), the nature of a colloid was
described as being a suspension of very small particles which are stabilized by having a
diffuse double layer of solution ions around them. The charge acquired by these particles
gives rise to a potential difference (i.e., mutual repulsion) between them that keeps them
separate and stabilizes the colloid. This potential difference is called the Zeta Potential,
and has been described in countless books on electrolytic effects in solutions. When the
colloid is composed of nanoparticles, the task of preventing the agglomeration is not an
easy one.
As the previous paper pointed out, if the zeta potential is more negative than
-30 mV, then the mutual repulsion between particles is sufficient to keep them separate
and stabilize the colloid. When the zeta potential is between -15 mV and 0 mV, however,
the particles agglomerate and flocculation or precipitation occurs.
In a 1996 report by the Department of the Interior by M. Elimelech and A. E.
Childress (5), it was pointed out that for world average fresh water rivers, the
concentration of common anions and cations across all normal pH ranges is sufficient to
change the zeta potential range from about -10 mV to +5 mV, making agglomeration of
nanoparticles occur. In sea water, the agglomeration would be even more pronounced.
Conclusions:
Theoretically, if a very large amount of silver nanoparticles from many sources
were to be dispersed into the same part of the environment at the same time, it might be
© 2008 Colloidal Science Lab., Inc.
possible that the concentration of some good bacteria, as well as the bad bacteria, would
be diminished, but this is not at this time considered a serious threat for the dietary
supplement nanoparticles. The points to be remembered are as follows:
1. This report has demonstrated that silver nanoparticles will grow to
biologically far less active “clumps†even if one dumps 27 liters of 20
ppm colloidal silver on each ton of soil. In practice, this is an
enormously high number which could not be expected to be reached
realistically.
2. In spite of the number of manufacturers producing silver nanoparticles
or claiming to be silver nanoparticles, because of the low concentrations
in which these products are sold, the total amount which could be
released in any part of the environment would still be expected to be
very low.
3. As shown by all the experiments above, nanoparticles do not last as
nanoparticles in nature for very long, but grow to harmless clumps of
silver metal.
4. Silver nanoparticles are not water soluble, and therefore, silver colloids
will not release silver ions into the environment.
Once agglomeration of the silver nanoparticles occurs, the result is simply
silver metal; a harmless metal which has existed in nature from the beginning of our
planet. Most people would not object to finding silver metal on their property.

HOW DO YOU CONNECT DEADLY DOTS?
AND THEN WHAT DO YOU DO?
It sometimes seems almost impossible to keep up with the onslaught of serious threats to our health and health freedom. The Natural Solutions Foundation is unique because our focus is wide and comprehensive. Like you, we do not limit our focus to one or two areas of concern. Because we share your deep understanding that freedom, like health, is an indivisible whole which is far, far more than the sum of its parts, we choose the harder path, rather than the easier one: we keep you informed on what is actually happening, not what would lull you into complacency. And we give you meaningful action steps to change what needs to be changed. After all, you “can take it” or you would not be on our distribution list. Besides, the Media of Mass Deception (and fluoride…) does quite enough lulling without our help! This Health Freedom eAlert will take a look at some of the biggest of the dangerous and deadly dots and then tell you:
A. How we think these dots are connected
B. What we are doing about it and
C. What you can do about it.
A word of warning, though: before you get to the end of the bad stuff (and it is, I am afraid, really very bad) you may become discouraged and want to click off to something lighter. Please don’t. There is hope, and a good deal of it, at the end of this trail of deadly dots, but we need to be clear on what the problems are before we can solve them! It’s odd, you know: sometimes when we talk about all these issues, people, feeling overwhelmed, say things like, “I don’t want to hear anything negative! I only want to focus on the positive.” Natural Solutions Foundation knows that the solutions are positive, no matter how bad the problems seem.
SO these two girl ostriches are walking down the beach and two boy ostriches see them and decide to catch up with them. The girl ostriches are not very pleased and see that the boys are going to catch up in a very short time. They look at one another and immediately stick their heads in the sand. The boy ostriches come to a screeching, skidding halt, look at each other and say, “Where’d they go?”
Sticking our heads in the sand is not going to get us out of the spot we are in now.
Understanding, connecting and then dealing with the underlying cause of the dots, however, may save us.
DOT: DEADLY VACCINES
A psychiatrist might say that vaccination is pretty close to a cultural obsession. Anyone daring to even question it is, automatically unpatriotic, irrational, part of the lunatic fringe, a bad parent or a hippie. However, asking these questions is actually logical, wise and prudent. The questions we should be asking include, “How is it that thimerisol, which killed all the patients receiving it in its very first tests, and has been known for its horrific biological impact has been so valiantly defended by the supposed “health watchdogs” in and out of government? These failed guardians include, for example, the American Pediatric Association, the AMA, the FDA, the FTC and the EPA.” and “Why are ineffective and extraordinarily contaminated vaccines permitted at all? Why are cancer causing and other stealth viruses, aluminum hydroxide, monosodium gultamate, and dozens of other dangerous chemicals injected into us at all?” and “Why is the government covering up what they already know about vaccines?” Beyond greed, are we systematically being exposed to dangers we may not suspect, but the government and drug companies know very clearly? Why?
The well-established connection between mercury and autism needs no repetition, although the financial Pretorian Guard of the pharmaceutical industry, the FDA, continues to defend this archaic and misguided practice as “safe and effective”. Click here (http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=689) to learn how BARDA, the FDA’s secretive Vaccine Police is poised to compel mandatory vaccination for whatever they declare has become “a Pandemic” using whatever they decide to inject. That’s not OK with us and I know it’s not OK with you, either. Click here (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/no-forced-vaccination/join) to join the vigorous on-line No-Forced-Vaccination Forum to learn and share more about your rights and freedom from forced vaccination. The
Natural Solutions Foundation has filed a highly innovative legal action, in the form of a Citizens Petition, with the Federal Trade Commission to compel it to hold hearings on whether the advertising and information put out by vaccine makers saying that vaccines are both safe and effective is truthful. We know it is not and so do you. We are also urging the FTC to ban such advertising and information until it is proven to be truthful. The FTC has “lost” and denied our petition unlawfully several times. Clearly, we have hit a nerve, and we did not use a syringe to get there. Stay tuned on this action: we’ll need your vigorous support as soon as the FTC gets around to fulfilling its legal obligation to formalize our ability to send comments in, under the issued FTC document number! Meanwhile, remember to take each of the actions in the side bar to protect your health and freedom. Congress needs to hear from millions of us on this issue. That’s why it is so important to get your contacts active, too. Forward this email and ask them to sign up for the Health Freedom eAlerts (http://drrimatruthreports.com/index.php?page_id=187) and take all the action steps. And ask them to forward it again to THEIR contacts when they have finished the Action Steps.
By the way, the long-awaited Vaccine Exemption eBook is nearing completion. Those of you who donated during our funding campaign for this book will receive your eBooks shortly. The book has grown and expanded into an even more impressive document with the help of experts and advisors. Thanks for your patience! We believe the Vaccine Exemption eBook will prove to be a major resource and well worth the wait!
DOT: INSANE SPRAYING
The State of California and the EPA have decided to spray cancer-inducing, environmentally destructive chemicals over the entire San Francisco Bay area (including waterways, wetlands, homes, playing fields, cities, farms and towns) to “control” a “pest” which has not even been confirmed to exist there and certainly does not present a hazard to any crop or plant species. Eradicating the Light Brown Apple Moth (LBAM) is apparently such a high priority that, should the Governor of California decide to prohibit the spraying of Checkmate (R), a nano-plastic delivery system bonded to an insect pheromone, the EPA will step in and take over jurisdiction to make sure that the spraying takes place EVERY 30 DAYS FOR 5 TO 10 YEARS.
The nano-particle plastic breaks down in the environment in about 70 days. How long does it take to break down in your lungs and what happens when it does? Who knows. Why is San Francisco being punished — or experimented upon? Or is it slated for extermination? Under the US Biological Agents Act such experimentation is terrifyingly legal. See http://drrimatruthreports.com/index.php?p=449 Did we also mention that no one knows the impact of the nano particles to which the moth hormone is bonded when they lodge deep in the lungs of people who have no choice but to breath them? And did we also mention that while severe physical problems accompany the spraying of this compound on human populations, there is no credible evidence that the LBAM actually presents any threat to anything at all?
The Natural Solutions Foundation has been watching this situation since Santa Clara and Monterey were sprayed last year resulting in serious and prolonged mass illness. In fact, you can click here (http://drrimatruthreports.com/index.php) to see what General Stubblebine and I had to say at a meeting a few months ago in California about this genocidal program. And don’t miss the chance to click here (http://youtube.com/watch?v=QTLhpc8fEIs) to see a music video with General Stubblebine!
Our collaborators, the Ecological Options Network, www.eon3.net, suspended work on our Health Freedom Documentary collaboration and the Health Freedom Video Library because of the emergency presented by the LBAM spraying so that they could document and support the community organization against this atrocious program which threatens the environment and the residents of Northern California and, we believe, the rest of the country, too.Your continued support in funding the Health Freedom Video is very important. Click here (http://drrimatruthreports.com/index.php?page_id=189)to make a donation to help fund the film. Donors of $100 or more will be thanked personally in the final version of the documentary. We are concerned that the Bay Area may a “belle weather” or early indicator experiment for the spraying which can be imposed on the rest of the US for reasons as far fetched and fatuous, and as potentially deadly, as those used in California.
It is imperative for us to be informed about this program because although the target is California now, there is no reason to believe that it will be limited there. Make-believe “pests” can be imagined anywhere and massive spraying programs called ChemTrails already exist. The EPA is willing to seize jurisdiction if California refuses to spray. Could this happen in your community? Click on these links to learn more:

Why would such dangerous, untested and patently absurd spraying, and sprays, be poured on us and on the environment every 30 days for 10 years without any pest to kill or safety studies to rely upon?
DOT: DEADLY DRUGS
It is no secret that properly used prescription drugs rank at the very top of causes of death in the US. It’s also no secret that drugs, which work by poisoning enzyme systems, lead to side effects which are frequently treated by more drugs which lead to side effects which are frequently treated by more drugs…. An untested and potentially deadly soup of drugs interacting with each other in unpredictable ways means patients getting worse, not better, or dying from their medical “care”. We all know the results and they are not pretty. It is also no secret that psychiatric drugs cause permanent changes in the brain and that they can stimulate deadly consequences in those who take them or those who are around those who take them. It is also no secret that the profits in these, and all other drugs, including chemotherapy drugs, are astonishingly high. The more we take of them, the richer the drug companies become.
Therefore, we are urged, through every possible channel, to take more and more drugs. I have speculated before in this forum, and will repeat my speculation, that the deadly consequences of these drugs, prescription and otherwise, and the vigorous propaganda war against the inexpensive, safe and effective alternative to these high cost toxins, are no accident.
There are too many smart scientists and doctors involved in drug research, and too many documented instances of industry and government colluding to suppress information about dangerous compounds which are approved for sale despite their known dangers for me to believe that this is an accidental state of affairs. Why would such dangerous drugs be allowed on our shelves and in our bodies?
DOT: GMOs, LABELED OR UNLABELED
The biotech industry may have done something good for humanity and the planet. If so, I am unaware of it. Some people hold out the idea that GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms) are safe or good for the economy and the environment. They are, in my opinion, simply wrong. Dead wrong. Here (http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=690) is a briefing on that topic which I prepared for the people I am talking to in Panama right now, including folks in the Ministry of Agriculture.
Biotech does nothing to inspire or impress me.
In fact, it scares me silly. I am unimpressed by dangerous drugs produced through recombinant DNA techniques, foods that can destroy the environment and have unintended health consequences in the near term or a score of years from now but which cannot be traced because the US will not allow labeling of these experimental foods. I am underwhelmed by hormones given to animals and people which have been made by shooting high energy “bullets” into DNA to make it serve commercial purposes which make the recipients sick.
I am not impressed by seeds which produce poisons and tolerate wildly dangerous chemicals in high concentrations so that they become vectors for environmental illnesses when their crops come to harvest. I find nothing to be joyous about in food and feed and super weeds that transfer their DNA into my cells (and my fetus’s) where that DNA and its promoter partners induce my DNA to produce proteins which have never existed before on the face of the earth and which have totally unknown consequences. Or, perhaps those consequences are not totally unknown to the purveyors of these Franken-foods, Franken-feed, Franken-Crops and Franken-animals.
And the more I learn what the Biotech firms like Monsanto are up to, the less I like the fact that they are taking over our food supply. Click here to spend some time learning about The World According to Monsanto (http://dandelionsalad.wordpress.com/2008/04/01/the-world-according-to-monsanto-a-documentary-that-americans-wont-ever-see-full-video/). This remarkable film, originally made in French, was available on the internet and then disappeared. It is archived here. Please watch and share it. And when you do share it, please ask your contacts to join the Health Freedom eAlerts distribution list at http://drrimatruthreports.com/index.php?page_id=187.
One of the Codex activities which has been occupying a good deal of our time here at the Natural Solutions Foundation is making sure that our African, Caribbean, South Pacific and other health-friendly allies are so well informed, and so upset, by the US policy at Codex of totally unlabeled GMOs that they take action. And they have begun to do exactly that. But looking at the dots, why would an industry which despoils the planet, sickens and kills people and animals, be permitted, at least in the US, a totally free hand to market its products in the total absence of safety testing and precautions to protect people and the planet?
DOT: POISONED FOOD
Pesticides and herbicides, fungicides, artificial colors, flavors and preservatives, Splenda (c), Aspartame (c), hydrogenated fat, high fructose corn syrup, high saturated fat, “food” deconstructed from genetically modified corn and soy and rebuilt from the vat up, so to speak, are killing us.
There is not much new in that. But why? Why are our shelves filled with stuff with which we are killing ourselves, mouthful by mouthful?
. Why are we buying it and why, from a regulatory point of view, is it on our shelves to buy?
. Why are supplements filled with synthetic “nutrients”, including those derived from genetically modified plants, bacteria, yeast and animals on our shelves?
. Why are our water, toothpaste and medicines filled with fluoride, a carcinogenic, diabetogenic, endocrine poison and neurological poison that mining companies find too expensive to dispose of legally and sell to food and water companies?
. Why is this known neurotoxin which creates complacency in those who are exposed to it (discovered first by Stalin’s prison camp wardens) allowed in increasing amounts in our food and drink and sprayed at incredible concentrations on our food?
. Why are our children bombarded with advertisements for things to eat that will kill them? Profit for the “food” makers, surely, but are there other reasons?
Perhaps social strategies are in place which do not favor strong, clear thinking, active and informed citizens. Perhaps those strategies are working hand in glove with the policies which allow deadly fake foods to stand in for the nutritious foods we need will support and sustain us. And perhaps those strategies and policies are consistent with Henry Kissinger’s now public 1972 secret assessment for President Nixon that the first consideration of America’s foreign policy needs to be depopulation.
Dot, dot, dot . . .
DOT: CODEX
Codex is the wagon of the multinational corporations and its driver is the United States. True, each sector influencing Codex decisions wants more money. True, Big Pharma founded Codex in order to make sure that the food supply was sufficiently contaminated to make sure that people sickened from preventable diseases of under nutrition from which it could then make a lot of money.
(Watch Nutricide, http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5266884912495233634, and read The Killing Camps of Codex, http://drrimatruthreports.com/?p=322, for more detail on this process.
But if you need consumers, more consumers, yet more consumers, why would you feed them food that is inevitably going to kill them? By the way, the next major Codex meeting is coming up in Geneva from June 30 to July 4, 2008. If you value our attendance there and want to have your usual ring-side seat as we participate in organizing the pro-health forces there and give you blow-by-blow reporting on who is doing what to whom and how it impacts your health and life, it is time to donate (http://drrimatruthreports.com/index.php?page_id=189) to send us there. The only way we can attend these meetings is through your generous tax deductible donations (http://drrimatruthreports.com/index.php?page_id=189). It is very helpful to us if you can make a recurring donation (http://drrimatruthreports.com/index.php?page_id=189) so that we can count on the income and make our plans accordingly. Thanks for your support!
DOT: CHEMTRAILS
ChemTrails have been denied since they first started appearing in the late 1970s. Recently the US General Accounting Office (GAO) admitted that there were, indeed, fluffy white ChemTrails being laid down in the skies. While the GOA tried to make it seem as if these innocent-looking white, red or black trails left as planes fly through the sky were of not particular consequence, there is a huge body of information that draws very different inferences from this world-wide activity. See, for example, http://educate-yourself.org/ct/ for a wide-ranging look at many points of view on ChemTrails.
Take a look at: http://youtube.com/watch?v=GvioxJUL6C0
http://youtube.com/watch?v=IaPqCMIuEk4&feature=related
http://youtube.com/watch?v=ohkV_i_0LWo&feature=related and the following 8 segments of this interview with a noted ChemTrail researcher by Alex Jones.
So my question here is, what is this program for? Who is responsible and what possible goal could be served by showering us with desiccated red blood cells and pathogens which are, in many cases, not previously identified? The government says there is nothing there.
As Chico Marx said in Duck Soup, “Who are you going to believe? Me or your eyes?” …And your lungs and the increased number of emergency room visits and deaths when ChemTrails are in your skies?
DOT: FORBIDDEN CANCER TREATMENTS
And then there is cancer, the single most economically productive disease ever encountered by humankind. Tragic, disastrous, largely preventable and oh-so-profitable. Big Pharma is big, in large measure, because of big cancer.
The World Health Organization includes cancer in its list of “non communicable preventive diseases of under-nutrition.” Within your lifetime and mine, cancer has gone from being a rare disease to one so common that anywhere from
* 1 child in 2 born after 2000 and
* 1 adult in 3
will develop cancer in the US ( the figure was 1 person in 5 in 1989!) The rest of the world is, sadly, playing catch-up with us.
Cancers are primarily environmentally caused: pesticides, fungicides, injected viruses like the MKV 40 virus in Polio and other vaccines, synthetic additives, mold contamination, industrial toxins, synthetic hormones in food or as medicine, heavy metals, etc., etc., etc. Now what if cancer were an easy to cure, easy to control and easy to prevent disease.? The consequences would be, quite simply, disastrous for the industries which profiteer from this dread and largely preventable scourge. For example, in 2007, cancer patient Jeanne Sather wrote,
“Every three weeks, always on a Thursday afternoon, I amble on over to the cancer center for my IV treatment.(I also take Cytoxan, a chemo drug that comes in pill form, every day, plus a handful of other pills to help deal with the side effects and fringe benefits of being in cancer treatment-anxiety, high blood pressure, occasional depression, insomnia.)The total bill for each treatment session at the cancer center is something north of $20,000. The annual cost of my cancer care is more than $300,000. That’s three hundred thousand dollars a year.Almost $30,000 a month to keep me alive.”
http://www.assertivepatient.com/2007/02/the_high_cost_o.html
Jeanne switched cancer treatment centers and, later that year, noted,
“… I was left to wonder why one cancer center charges $9,496.47 for one dose of Avastin and another cancer center in the same city charges $22,739.31. [for one afternoon’s treatment]… the same thing for the Herceptin. SCCA [a cancer treatment center – REL] charged me $6,254.95 for one dose of Herceptin, and Swedish [another cancer treatment center – REL] charged me $9,599.10.”

Before you do a little intuitive math and come up with numbers so staggering that they take your breath away, here’s a little chart from 2006 compiled from manufacturer’s information. Today’s prices, of course, would be significantly higher:
Avastin Genentec $4,400
Erbitux ImClone/Bristol-Myers $10,000
Gleevec Novartis $2,600
Herceptin Genentech $3,000
Nexavar Bayer Pharmaceuticals $4,300
Revlimid Celgene $4,500
Rituxan Genentech $4,200-$13,000
Sutent Pfizer $4,000
Tarceva Genentech/OSI Pharma. $2,400 to $2,700
http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2006-07-10-cancer-drugs_x.htm
The same article notes, “many of the new drugs work only when combined with chemo, he says. Adding drugs such as Erbitux and Avastin to older therapies increases costs as well as side effects. Patients today still don’t live very long on most of the new medications.” which leads manufacturers to justify their costs this way, “Officials from Bristol-Myers Squibb Co., which sells Erbitux, note that patents offer companies a limited amount of time to recoup their investments.” [Emphasis ours]

The US National Cancer Institutes 2007 Updates notes, “Cancer treatment accounted for an estimated $72.1 billion in 2004-just under 5 percent of U.S. spending for all medical treatment. Between 1995 and 2004, the overall costs of treating cancer increased by 75 percent. In the near future it is expected that cancer costs may increase at a faster rate than overall medical expenditures.”

By comparison, today all forms of supplements constitute a mere $24 billion in sales ($20 billion in 2004). IF all supplements were used as nutritional therapy for cancer (which they are not), then the total savings in 2004 for cancer treatment would have been $52.1 billion! Of course, the fact that, in my experience and that of many other health professionals, that people with cancer who use natural therapies fare better and live longer, is not represented in these numbers. Nor is the vastly increased quality of life for naturally helped patients reflected in these numbers.
There is no room here for a full discussion of the fraud known as “Cancer treatment” nor the complex dishonesty by which dangerous, ineffective, but highly profitable cancer treatments continue to rob cancer sufferers of their immune capacity, their chance at survival and their money. For a typical, information-rich examination of these issues, read the now slightly outdated, but very informative article at http://www.theforbiddenknowledge.com/hardtruth/cancer_business.htm
DOT to DOT
Here is how the dots look to me: I see level upon level of complexity.
At the bottom, simplest level of the problem, I believe that major companies and their executives are often driven by pure, unadulterated, mindless, heartless and soulless greed in the same way that ethics-free researchers are driven by mindless, heartless curiosity in a corporate ‘science for hire’ environment. There are no limits to what they will do because they know no ethical constraints.
These “Captains of Industry and Science” are so far removed from their hearts and values that they rationalize what they do as somehow good for themselves and their families without any concern whatsoever (unless they stumble upon a good death bed experience) about their extended families: that is, the rest of us, and our universal mother, the earth. They are the pride of the dominance system. They believe they can own land, lives, food, and other commodities and, having acquired ownership, they can do with them exactly as they like since, for them, social contracts do not exist, only a legal ones. Knowing no limitations for their greed and need to dominate, they corrupt and control governments as if they were their natural sandboxes filled with their toys. What happens next is of no concern to them. Power does corrupt
Next, there are the “Shapers”. These are people like Henry Kissinger and his ilk who believe that it is their right to make life and death (heavy on the death, here) decisions about who lives and who dies, who is worthy and who is not. Like my patient, the Head of State, they see people as either useful to them (e.g., themselves, their minions and their technicians) or of no value — “useless eaters” to be disposed of when their plans have ripened to the point where they can “clean the earth” of these encumbrances.
They have decided that population reduction is good through any means, however hidden or cruel, because it serves their purposes. They have brought to its highest level the split between “I” and “Thou” since the “I” sees no mutual, holistic existence of the other, the “Thou”, and can do away with the other person (or populations) at his own whim or economic impulse. These people see no relationship between themselves and anyone who does not serve them. They plan things like population reduction in order to achieve a “sustainable” planet for themselves AFTER 90% of the world’s population has been conveniently exterminated.
Schemes like ChemTrails and depleted uranium and Codex make horrifying sense to them and then they implement these schemes for their own purposes, hidden behind their minions like Monsanto and the US FDA operatives, and their useful Big Industry Captains (see above).
And then, if I am correct, there is the third level: the “uber-masters”, the shadowy levels of puppeteers, the behind-the-scenes controllers. Their shadowy existence is only guessed at through hints and suggestions, but the information pointing to their manipulative existence is persistent and, to me, appears compelling. As the levels go up, so does the power and the hidden nature of their control.
But all of them, from the scientists who experiment on people as if they had no meaning or worth to the agents of the corporations to the “Policy Makers” and on up to the Shapers and the uber-masters, all of them have one Achilles heel, just one. Their plans whither like poisonous mushrooms in the glare of information and the light of truth. That is what they fear and that is what destroys them at the same time that it liberates us! Truly, it is YOU who are the light of the world.

3. Visit www.Organics4U.org, our wonderful virtual store featuring clean, wholesome, organic supplements and products. Every purchase supports your health and your health freedom at the same time!
4. A few eAlerts ago, I mentioned the Strategic Health Freedom Alliance that we and the Institute for Health Research were urging Nutrient, Natural Remedies and Advanced Health Care Practitioners to form. That “C4” organization will be able to directly lobby legislators, while our “C3” NGOs can only educate and demonstrate. The announcement email to leaders in the industry is on its way now. If you are involved in a company and may be able to help with a grant that can be expensed as a business cost, please contact Ralph Fucetola JD, who is coordinating this effort. You can reach him at ralph.fucetola@usa.net – please put “Strategic Alliance” in the subject line and he will send you the special email announcement about this important initiative. Be sure to let Ralph know the name of the company you represent and the best time to contact you.
So times are grim and there, apparently, a concerted effort to use us badly, or terminally. That is not our agenda. We want to prosper and thrive. We want to make our choices for ourselves about how we live, how we pursue health and how we age.
We want our path to be illuminated by the bright light of truth and we want to be able to shed that light for others. What can we do? WE can be the light!

Nanotechnology a ‘bigger concern’ than GM foods
By Simon Lauder
The lifting of bans on genetically modified crops has revived the debate about the safety of the food we eat.
But the next step in industrial food production has got Australia’s food regulator bracing itself for even more controversy.
Opponents to nanotechnology say it is a much scarier prospect than GM food, and while it can make food look better and last longer, there are fears about how it might affect the human body.
The regulator now faces the difficulty of ruling when packaging becomes part of the food.
The CEO of Food Standards Australia New Zealand, Steve McCutcheon, says it is called interactive packaging, where the food takes in chemicals from the packet as it sits on the shelf.
“At the moment, the shelf life of prepacked salad vegetables is fairly short, but with the application of this technology we understand that you could actually package fresh salads, and they would be fresh still after the 30-day period on the shelf,” he said.
The development that has given birth to the one-month fresh salad is called nanotechnology – working with particles thousands of times smaller that the width of a human hair.
It is not only for packaging, some companies want to use nanoparticles as ingredients in the food itself.
“We understand that a company in the United States has applied for a patent to cover the use of titanium dioxide and silicone dioxide in chocolate, in nanoparticle form, to give the surface a gloss,” he said.
“At this stage we’re aware of applications to use this technology in the marketplace, but whether that’s actually happening or not, I don’t know.”
Mr McCutcheon says the new form of technology would require pre-market approval prior to entering the market in Australia and New Zealand.
Dr Rye Senjen is researching nanotechnology for Friends of the Earth.
She says it could already be in some food we eat, and it is a bigger concern than genetically modified organisms.
“I think it’s genetically engineering on steroids, because nanotechnology has a much bigger application that will be applied to every single aspect of the food chain. It’s much more scary,” she said.
Although nanotech food has not been approved, Dr Senjen says there is no law to prevent manufacturers using their regular ingredients in nanoparticle form.
“There’s no legal requirement whatsoever to tell the regulator that now you’ve shrunk the particle size. It’s not in the regulations. You don’t even have to mention it,” she added.
She says nanoparticles are dangerous because they are small and could breach the body’s defences in ways no natural food can.
“When you ingest something and then if it can cross from the digestive system to elsewhere, well it can go anywhere,” she said.
But Mr McCutcheon believes it is too early to say there are risks.
“We don’t know yet what the hazards and risks are from its application to food, if indeed there are any hazards or risks,” he added.
Mr McCutcheon says the regulator is only just beginning to look at the global evidence on the impact of eating nanoparticles.
